AMG Bf 109B-1

Post by Bish »

I had been wanting to get some early 109's for ages. Originally i had planned on getting the Avis kits. But when AMG brought out there's, i decided to opt for one of those. Decided to try the B-1 first.

Image

Kits come with PE, mask and one small piece of resin, so this will be an OOB build. Started with the pit (of course) which has detail added to the side walls, and one small piece of PE.

Image

Image

After painting with Xtracolor, i used some flory wash and then added some light dry brushing.

Image

Cockpit was fitted after adding PE seatbelts and decals for instruments.

Image

Image

Fuselage then went together and wings added. Fit is pretty nice.

Image

Image

The rear of the centre wing section needed a little sanding. And of course i over did it and had to fill a bit. The lower wing doesn't join the top along the back edge, but just ahead of the flaps. Buts its better than in the review i had read.

Image

I rather like the molded on detail of the engine. I won't be having it open on this, but i do plan on getting some more of their early kits so will show it off on one of those.

Image

Thats all for now. More soon.

I've been looking at getting some early 109s glad to see you build this up.

I'm already liking this kit because of the molded in engine. I'm really looking forward to seeing one of these 1/72 scale puppies opened up.

You’re doing a nice job getting this together. I like these aircraft and I’m delighted to see a kit from a manufacturer that I’m unfamiliar with. She’s looking good!

Cheers guys. These are deffinetly kits i could recomend. I will be getting the A, C and D at some point and it would be a waste not to have at least one opened up.
